Real estate spotlight: Camano Island -- circa 1975

Back to Gallery

If you dreamed about living on the beach in the 1970s, then this home might just be your ticket to fulfilling that dream.

Situated right on the water, facing west on the south end of Camano Island, this 3,221-square-foot home is a trip back in time.

From the clear cedar-vaulted ceilings to the exterior stone work to the plush red carpeting, this looks like a brand-new house -- from 40 years ago (it should be noted, the house was built in 1980).

Decorated to match that style -- in intricate detail -- this two-bedroom, four-bath home is a time capsule from a bygone era, and it can all be yours (aside from some personal belongings the owner will keep) for $879,000. From the standing ashtrays to the furniture, right down to the Kleenex box on the counter, this house has all the touches of the era that brought the world disco.

To class up all that '70s style, this property includes one indoor and one outdoor fireplace (on the beachfront deck) and a hot tub (sunken into the deck). It also includes an adjacent boat launch and a mooring buoy.

This home has been featured in Seattle Met magazine, as well as rented out by Getty Images for a photo shoot. The owner, Kyla Fairchild, publishes NoDepression.com, an online music publication, and sometimes lends the home out to "big names" in the music industry.

Whatever the use, this place is a beach-side getaway to somewhere -- and some time -- else. You can see the full listing here.
